1. I can't access databases, online journals, and e-books. I'm getting a 403 error and I can't change my password.
This normally happens when you try to access online resources through our website, but are not registered for the current semester. The vendors for our research databases do not allow off-campus access to students who are not registered for the current semester.

If you are not registered for a class during the spring/summer semester, you have two options:• Access a research database through MeL. Look for a purple next to the database name on our website. Click on the purple instead of the database name. These databases are available to residents of Michigan — you will need to log in using your Michigan driver’s license number. (You can also go directly to MeL Databases to access these.)• You can come in to the library and use guest access computers.

2. Can students who aren't registered for classes access the wireless network?
Yes, according to ITS, students who aren't registered for class over the summer can still access the wireless network. As long as you have a Kerberos password, you can log in.

3. Can students who aren't registered for classes still use UPrint?
Yes, you can still use UPrint, but you won't have the quota that you normally get at the start of a semester for which you are registered for classes. You can use a credit card to put money on your UPrint account, but you can only add small amounts. Any money you add to UPrint will be available until the weekend before fall classes start.
